Customer Reviews

Interesting material for beginning to intermediate level.
Most of the Spanish proverbs have a similar or sometimes exact equivalent in English. This makes it fun and easier to try to guess the meaning of unknown words by their context. For anyone wishing to improve their reading ability in Spanish this is an entertaining and enjoyable book.

Excellent for improving vocabulary.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Contains cartoon illustrations to help you remember, short passages giving examples of each one in use and translations if you get stuck. Also see "Folk Wisdom of Mexico".

A little thin.
The actual content of this book is helpful, but it has a lot of padding. I don't think it's really necessary for an illustration and a full conversational context for each phrase, so I find it hard to believe that 115 pages are needed to explain a mere 101 proverbs. It is a useful book for any spanish speaker or learner to have on their shelf nevertheless.
